Alright…today’s content comes to us compliments of Shiela. Below is a copy of what she posted in the comments a few days ago. Let me know if you’re interested and we’ll organize a team! Oh, the workout came from her as well, so feel free to direct all complaints to her. I can furnish her email upon request. Be careful [...]

Remember when Fridays were fun? Ok, they still are. I read an interesting article on the CrossFit mainsite last night titled “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior.” Check it out and let me know what you think. This is worth the read, especially if you have kids. I’m not necessarily saying that I agree with what is said, just that it [...]

So do you ever look at a WOD on the website and just dread going in to the gym for the rest of the day? Or maybe not go into the gym at all? I know I do. Last night when we were drawing up the WOD, I almost hesitated to let Jason throw in the burpees. Why? Because I [...]

The details of the Paleo challenge are in their final stages of approval. Basically there will be some benchmark workouts that will be done at the beginning and end of the challenge in order to measure performance increases. There will also be a point system for adhering to the nutritional guidelines which will be announced shortly. WOD Row 1000m (Max [...]

So you know when you finish a rough WOD and you’re just kinda drained  and aren’t really thinking straight? Well that’s the state of mind that I am in right now. Excuse me if I ramble or don’t make any sense, but I feel like a woman from the 80′s with big hair doing breathing exercises. If you’re confused about [...]

We heard much more buzz this last week about nutrition and diet.  Let’s keep those discussion’s going, answer some questions, and see some more results.  Feed us some more of your success stories too.  It’s so great to see everyone get stronger. Shoot for a five rep max on the last set of squats today, and then go for broke [...]

So when I learned what today’s workout was I said, “Are you kidding me?” It looks like it could be pretty tough. Just put your head down and keep going! If you haven’t discovered it already, check out The Whole 9 website. It’s a great resource for nutrition with a ton of great articles. WOD 10-9-8…1 Burpees KB Swing 35/55 [...]

Everyone in this picture gets an extra round added to their score for working out at 6:30 am! Great job on Cindy yesterday! It’s so simple–just pull ups, push ups, and squats–and you don’t have to do very many of them during each round either. How hard can it be? I think just about all of us have learned our [...]

Long’s Peak early in the morning…almost makes it worth it to be up this early! Check out the Breakfast Club getting after it on the “Death by Other Stuff” WOD. Strong work by Lee, Mary and Tomi! So the “official” CrossFit version of Helen does not call for any rest time. The object (like usual) is to complete all the [...]

Talk about full extension. Bret’s shoulders extended so far they swallowed his head! All joking aside…awesome triple extension! So on yesterday’s snatch/squat/floor press/box jump workout, Michael went above Rx’d and did 135# on the snatch and 32″ on the box jump and had the best time of the day with 4:20. After that he felt the need to have a [...]
